In the Series 9 episode "Before the Flood", the Doctor interacts with the Fisher King. I couldn't help but notice that when the Fisher King spoke its creepy voice, it sounded like the 456 alien from Torchwood: Children of Earth.

Are they the same aliens?

No.

The 456, voiced by Simon Poland, had

three "heads", connected to one body via three long necks, possibly a conjoined triplet species. It resembled a large, plucked, three-headed swan.

The Fisher King, voiced by Peter Serafinowicz, had a single head and resembled a human with a boat over its head:

Fisher King

These two aliens look very different from each other, and there's no reason to think they're the same species. Plus they were voiced by different actors.

    Also the Fisher King showed no difficulty surviving in normal Earth atmosphere, while the 456 ambassador teleported into a tank filled with "25% nitrosyl chloride, 22% hydrogen chloride, 20% nitrogen, 12% fluorine, 9% hydrogen cyanide, 6% acetone, and 6% phosgene".
